Sometimes necessity is the mother
l id Invention and sometimes it is back
! ache or "lameness of the knees." as
In the instance I)?fore us where a
transplanting implement was devised,
it is W. H. J., in Viclc's Magazine,
who tells of his invention as follows:
To show more clearly what the Implement
does I will describe my former
way of setting cel ry plants. To
get the plants all out in good time
we were obliged to work when the
, ground was dry, and nil day. often in
the hot sunshine. Our method was to
draw a line over the row where the
plants were to be set, draw a marker
by the side of the line to mar.; the
ground for the plants, then water the
! row with a watering pot. and then
1 make the holes for the planus with
: dibbers. The implement which 1 now '
have does all this, and two rows at the
same time, as fast as a man can walk.
My first effort to devise something
that would help in doing this work
was to make what was very much like
a wheelbarrow with pegs around the
out ;?to (?? ??>' ...? make the hole3
as the wheel turned. This, with
inaraer to gauge iin> rows, would,
when run over the ground. mark
the rows for the plants and make
for Jhnm
My noxt improvement wan to pine" a '
bucket of water on the harrow behind
the wheel and attach a hose to it that,
would lead a email stream of watei to
the ground and over the line of holes
which the wheel had made.
This did the work very well, but not i
bo rapidly as the machine which i now
use. This is much iike a two wheeled
eart. but p gs two inches long and
sharpened close to the end are placed,
for celery plants, six Inches apart
around the outside of the wheels. The
wheels are mad" of wood, they are two
feet in diameter and have a rim three I
inches wide, so as not to depress the |
soil too mueli. The axle is two and ,
one-half f< t long, and a wooden !
water tank holding about 20 gallons j
is placed on the axle. Handles are at- ;
inched both in front and hack, for j
drawing and pu diing. for unless the !
ground is level two persons are to ede.l )
to handle it easily. Two small roll'is'
are made to run out in front of the '
wheels to belt r balance the cart, but i
tae lank is so placed that there is but J
little weight on them. \ piece of hose |
is ntta< hod to each side of rear of tank [
to lead the water info email cups with j
si' ve-llko bottoms, s o placed to as run
directly ever the line of 1ml s which
the wheels make and water them, so
they are ready for the plants.
A line is drawn for the lirst row and
Ihe other rows are marked by a marker,
similar to those attached to garden
seed drills which gauges the rows.
in Kutnint; Onion*.
The ideal soil for an onion bed is a '
deep, rich loam, with swilicient sand in
its composition to lie. felt by the hand
rather than detected by the eye. Such
land und. i* proper treatment ripens
?u>v?u a nam siyio or onions, if the
seed was raised from good stock, and
one having that bright, straw color
which makes thorn so attrac tive to the
eye. As is the case with all crops
which require much hoc and hand
work, the freer the land is from stones
the better: all that show themselves
on the surface the size of u hen's egg
should ho removed if possible before
planting.
Hand weeding is the great Item of ,
cost in onion raising, for which reason
very weedy laud should be avoided ?ih ;
far as possible, and slide hooa urcd 1
which cut the closest to the growing .
crop. The first hand weeding is generally
put off too late, until the weeds
can be scon in some plenitude, whereas
it should begin just as soon as the
onions have fairly broken ground,
when the slightest rubbing of the surface
will destroy the young weeds. I
The better the quality of the seed
and the higher the manuring the more :
uniformly the. bulbs ripen down. When |
they are hard around the stein the crop [
is dry enough to be housed. If left
out longer the outer skiu is apt to ,
crack, beginning at the ~oot, and expose
a tender surface. Afier pull
ing. it. is well to turn carefully with |
wooden tooth rakes every other day
for the first week. The crop should br
stored in an airy plao, not over 2 1-2 ;
to feet deep it is cheaper to top (
them on the bed. but not always convenient
to do so.
The tliroe dreads of the onion grow I

and t'i* smut. Tho (wo !atte/ arc fungous
diseases. The smut, us tln> black.
I smut-like discoloring of tho leaves in
tailed, usually appears, if at all, in
spots here and there about the bed
All such onions should be promt tly
and carefully removed and destroyed
by burning or deep burying. The white
) blight is a much dreaded visitant,
oftentimes within a few days of its
first appearance sweeping over the entire
bed. The onions stop growing and
remain with stiff necks, a large proportion
of them ultimately worthless.
I Any cure for this 1 consider to he but
I
theoretical nonsense, hut prevention
is another matter. My experience has
led me to believe that all plant diseases
are. as a rule, caused by i'l
health, and. just as with human beings,
tie lest protection co'nes through .1
Vigorous, healthy life. It l? ?> <?
ble. sickly plants that the blight makes
food of. i have noticed that when
onion blight is prevalent, those beds
that have been most liberally fed with
potash nrc most likely to Ih? exempt
from its ravages. Where the white
blight prevails, it Is wise to have an
interval of at least three years intervene
before replanting to onions.
Meanwhile be very careful not to use
the Implements on land that is free
from blight, as all varieties of fnngi
are very easily transplanted.?J. J. H.
